Essentia Story Problems

The biggest most obvious problem, the conversion rates. These rates are abysmal to say the least. The prices on items seem fair but the conversion rates are absolute dogshit. To me the only things worth buying are T6CC, the T4A, 7* Sigs, and Relic mats.
Next, the cap on the conversion rates is such a stupid and disgusting thing to do. I like many people I know, saved and didnt claim a lot of glory hoping to trade them in for a good amount of essentia for better purchases, but not only are the rates horrible, theres a limit to how much you can exchange, half the items are priced awfully.

Another problem is getting rid of all the other stores right on launch of the essentia store. Like they plan to do with the mysterium store, the launch of essentia should have also been a gradual change and shift to this new currency.

The last few problems, is the lack of items to purchase, and the HORRID pricing of raid tickets. Like half the essentia players can get at the moment will be used just for raid tickets, which is made worse by the fact that raids start today.

Honestly this is overall just a good concept, with horrible execution. I do not mind Kabam spacing out content and updates like the new Carina's coming out weekly and not at once to gain retention for the game, but adding the caps to already such horrible rates is not a good first look.

The radiance conversion is just diabolical

@Roggam I didn't miss it. I mentioned the cap on conversions. "Next, the cap on the conversion rates is such a stupid and disgusting thing to do."

Well isn't this just lovely. Why hasn't this been changed to Essentia already. Since they were in such a rush to get rid of all the stores (Glory, BG, Incursions), why didn't they swap their respective currencies to Essentia in all the events that give those currencies

Every thing goes to overflow can not clame weekly rewards, need more conversion limit

Xyron

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!??! @Kabam Crashed You lot are just playing with our emotions at this point.

New currency versus old disappointments!!!!

I thought the purchase of the new currency would be unlimited, not limited. This is complicated and detrimental to players.

You could allow unlimited purchases for a period of 2 or 3 days.

Kabam needs to review this situation of the purchase limit and this 6-day waiting period for new purchases; this restrictive model doesn't help.hat right?

I have just under 16k unspent Glory.

I've just received almost 7k Glory with todays Alliance Quest rewards and Weekly Super Event, which will expire in just under 7 days.

The glory store doesn't exist anymore.

I can only trade 400 Glory for Essentia until the reset in just under 7 days!

And this is just looking at Glory!

Stash management is a part of this game that we all have to deal with and we make the best decisions based on informed information. If we had known that this would be the case, we could have made sure we spent our excess resources over the last few months, to ensure that we weren't suddenly in this situation without any options.

Either remove the cap on how much of the legacy currencies you can convert to Essentia or reinstate the legacy stores stores so that expiring currencies can be used up, rather than losing them due to expiration dates.

Bad show Kabam. We have all worked hard to earn these currencies and it is going to leave a bad taste to watch them expire unnecessarily.

lol did anyone expect this store to launch without ZERO issues.. i absolutely expected this haha

still no word from Kabam. like wow stuff expired and no solutions, horrible conversion rates and a hilarious cap to it too. like burn the game?

These problems have always existed; with each new release, the result generates dissatisfaction. It's not the first time; afterwards, Kabam usually sends a small compensation with an apology.

How many players bought the Title Subscription in the store and other items, receiving more rewards, and now will lose their old coins?

Despite the announcement of the new ESSENTIA currency, this does not justify punishing players with the loss of old coins.

After all, regardless of whether they spent them or not, Kabam needs to understand that we earned them fairly. Doesn't Kabam take fairness seriously?

Other solutions could be considered, such as: adding new items to the store, removing this purchase restriction, eliminating interest from the second purchase onwards.

Since I risk losing my in-game resources, earned fairly, I will think twice before buying anything in the store; after all, I need to value my money.

Why Are these stores based on storey progression? Its bad enough side quest and special events that are the same difficulties and champs are tiered but this is rediculas. All tiers should really at this point have multiple ways to progress. Why did it stop at paragon? Valient should also have multiple avenues.
